Governor Foraker's career bids fair to be a
striking exemplification of the old adage that
bound to hang himself sooner or later. He
first achieved national nOtOriety by posing as
patriot, and has never bobbed up since then
without nauseating his hearers with dose of
the bloody SHIRT or the rebel flags. 1t was, of
course, to be expected that if there as a dis
graceful row during the stay Of the Grand Ar
my men at Wheeling Governor Foraker would
be in the midst of it. But his conduct in this

bitter and yindictive than the preceding one

Ohioans to quell the rebellious South. What

they honor such leaders as Blaine, Platt, Quay,
Malone and Foraker. New York star.
